Southampton 0-1 Burnley - Sam Vokes scores again against Saints

A late header from substitute Sam Vokes sent Burnley sixth in the table with victory over Southampton at St Mary's.

Vokes got in front of Southampton centre-back Maya Yoshida to nod home a cross from Johann Berg Gudmundsson with nine minutes left to help the Clarets to their third away win of the season.

Sean Dyche's side, who have only been beaten by leaders Manchester City on the road, had soaked up concerted pressure from the home side, with goalkeeper Nick Pope making a brilliant save to deny Yoshida early in the second half.

But the introduction of Vokes and Ashley Barnes midway through the second half lifted Burnley and set up the victory that put them level on points with fifth-placed Arsenal and fourth-placed Chelsea.
